I really grateful to Elize for her great help, support, collaboration and friendship, she is amazing person, also I'm so grateful to my other friends-musicians for their great collaborations, friendship, support and help, such as: Nicoletta Rosellini (Kalidia), Iris Boanta (The Mystery; Souldrinker), Gaby Koss (ex-Haggard, Equillibrium, Therion and etc), Alessio Lucatti (Vision Divine), Mark Cross (Ex- Helloween, Firewind), Federico Solazzo, Alberto Rigoni (Solo Artist, Twinspirits), Elina Laivera (Seduce The Heaven), and many, many, many more great people around the globe who are working with me or who are supporting me...they all are brilliant musicians and great friends! And of course I'm so grateful to people who like my music, cuz their support is very imporant for me and they are great listeners and my source of inspiration and reason to live and to make my music

- FMR : That´s nice!. OK, What are some of your main influences as a band?

- AS : There are so many bands, musicians and composers who influenced me a lot, and everyday I try to discover something really new for me in all kinds of music...cuz I have no limits in music and in life too..so I'm always open for something really new and really cool, but the main influence always will be music of the genius composer Hans Zimmer and Nightwish!

- FMR : Hans Zimmer and Nightwish ( Tuomas Holopainen ) are simply one of the bests at composition. Good choice!.

- FMR : How do you define exactly your band´s style?

- AS : I've been thing about it for a long time, but then I decided to try to combaine some beautiful cinematic music with metal music, so "Ascension" is cinematic metal project...or something like that...

- FMR : What is the thematic of your last work?, Please, Tell us a little bit of this.

- AS : I released my new song with great and beautiful and talented female singer Iris Boanta, the song is called "The Devil in us all" but it's not about the real devil..cuz the real devil is a total loser and I'm much bigger than him...ha ha...Iris did a great job, I love her voice so much, cuz it's so strong and beautiful and sexy...and she is awesome musician...Now I'm working with a lot of great musicians from different countries, for example I wrote a song for great musician from Chile Paula Viches (Denun, Arkaos) , this is gonna be my first song in Spanish and this is will be Paula's song...also I have a new experience in my musical life as a composer and songwriter so I'm working now with a talented hip hop singer from Italy Klaus Bundy, I wrote a song for him in hip hop, rap style...it's very interesting for me...cuz I have never did anything like this before...and if you know my music so you can be sure that even a rap song which was wrote by me will sound great...cuz I make no mistakes...ha ha and there some more great musicians to work with now .
